and Chaplain Pyne OF his staff, and the soldiers
presented arms. When the music ceased Chap
lain Pyne, stepping in advance OF the group, doffed
his cap and bowed his head. The soldiers, officers
and spectators uncovered their heads while Chap
lain Pyne offered a prayer, as follows:
SO God, who art the blessed and only potentate,
King OF kings and Lord Of lords doing according TO
Thy will in the armies of heaven and among the
inhabitants Of earth, we pray for Thy blessing
upon all the officers and other soldiers Of the
Army Of these United States and the National
now assembled In the national encampment, using
authority and rendering obedience as men who
shall give account OF themselves unto God May
they never go TO battle but in righteous cause,
and when they do go forth to fight may Thy arm
defend them and Thy shield protect them. And,
above all, we pray that in full faith in Thee and
in obedience to Thy blessed will they may never
be ashamed to confess the faith OF Christ crucied
and manfully to fight under his banner against
sin, the world and the devil, and to continue
Christs faithful soldiers and servants unto their
LIES end; all Of which we ask in the name and
for the sake of the great Captain OF our salvation,
Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen!"
When the prayer was ended the great nag was
run up to the peak, and was saluted by the 3rd
